WAIT, WHAT IS A PET TRUST? How to Protect the Future of All Your Family Members, Big or Small

You can easily ensure that life for your family is as comfortable and easy as possible if you are incapacitated. But it is no secret that your family may be made up of more than fellow humans, such as birds, cats, dogs, horses, and more. Animals provide meaningful connections in our lives, and at Hegwood Law Group, we know you want to give them the best lives possible even when you cannot care for them. Unfortunately, because animals are considered property under Texas law, it is not possible to provide for their care or shelter in your will. However, you can ensure they are cared for with another legally binding document — a pet trust. A pet trust is a legal entity recognized under Texas law that provides specific directions for the physical control, daily care, medical attention, and even burial of your pet. Generally, there are two types of pet trusts:

law determines how the trust will operate and how it can be used.

Traditional Legal Trust — This is the preferred method to ensure the care of your pet that actually places the pet and sufficient funds for its care into the trust.

Pet trusts work pretty simply: Once the pet owner (“settlor”) creates a trust, they must designate a trustee and a caregiver as the beneficiary. The trustee will manage the funds and oversee the caretaker while the caretaker acts as the “beneficiary” of the trust. A pet trust will ensure your caretaker’s costs are covered. The amount they receive will depend on many factors, including the type of animal, annual cost of care, the pet’s age and life expectancy, and need for extended veterinary care or surgery. Of course, this makes having a trustworthy, financially responsible trustee critical to a safe pet trust. Also, you need to make sure to have a caretaker willing to care for your pet and provide a safe home. If you have any questions, do not hesitate to call our team! We are highly experienced with concerned pet owners and can promise you they will be protected with a well- designed pet trust.

Statutory Pet Trust — A type of trust authorized by the state legislature, this is a basic plan in which state
